SCHOOL CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM TRAINING
LEVEL VII

Dr. John Dudley

This training is for veteran crisis response teams and focuses on retro-fitting crisis response protocols as well as preparing to respond to a pandemic impacting schools.

Some of the topics included in Level VII training are:

• Remodeling school crisis response plans
• Exploring ways to improve direct responses
• School crisis teams working in new ways
• Crisis issues regarding a pandemic
• Utilizing previous crisis team experiences
• Experiencing a “rebirth” of your school’s crisis team

Level VI workshop participants will:

• Critique their school crisis manual (this manual is different than a school district’s crisis plan)
• Be prepared to share school crisis responses that have not been successful
• Share the major problems their crisis team will face in their next response and resolve those problems
• Bring successful ideas that have been incorporated into their school’s crisis response plan
• Be prepared to develop creative response strategies for extremely difficult   crisis events

Former Level VI participants say they learned:

• “Our school district is in no way prepared for a pandemic…”
• “It’s okay to talk about the mistakes our team has made…”
• “We didn’t know that our school district’s crisis plan was quite different than the crisis manual our teams should use…”
• “We need better school policies to help us make crisis responses…”
• “How to put together a psychological first-aid curriculum…”

Participants in John's crisis response workshops comment:

• “I thought I knew it all—Boy was I wrong…”
• “He holds people’s attention like I have never seen before…”
• “Learning was fun today…”
• “He got my attention from the get-go and held it even after the workshop had ended…”
• “A very positive, I’d even say life changing, experience…”
